Wonderful experience on this e-bike/ tasting tour. - This was a very well organized trip. Alice was excellent to work with during the planning. The bikes were top quality and our guide provided a very enjoyable experience! Both tours (balsamic vinegar and Parmesan) were interesting and tasty! Highly recommend this tour.

Cycle your way through beautiful Castelvetro countryside (solo traveller) - I chose to join the bike tour as a way to take a break from Modena for the day, get active, and soak in the beautiful natural surroundings.
Alice was very helpful and communicative in the days leading up to my arrival, ensuring I had everything I needed, including transport details (I caught the 740 bus from Modena Autostazione).
My guide, Tommaso, an avid mountain biker, was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the local landscape but also during our visits to the Parmigiano and balsamic vinegar producers. Meeting the artisans behind these iconic products added an authentic and memorable touch to the experience.
The terrain was gentle, and the e-bike made the few uphill stretches easy to handle. It was my first time using this type of bike, everything was well maintained, and Tommaso even offered to carry my belongings (plus 1kg of Parmigiano), in his backpack, lightning my load, which was a thoughtful gesture. Grazie mille!
All in all, a fantastic way to explore the Modena countryside—great pace, great company, and great views. I only wish it lasted longer. 10/10, highly recommended!

Best way to see Modena - My daughter and I decided to do this excursion during our quick trip to Modena and are so glad we did!
Alice communicated with us before the trip, and helped us secure a ride from our apartment to the meeting spot and back.
We met our guide/host, Tommaso,got set up with our bikes and headed out. We took a scenic route to the cheese factory and got a firsthand look at how Parmesan is made. So many great photo ops! From there, we headed to the balsamic tasting and enjoyed a private tour and tasting in a medieval tower. Of course we bought some balsamic! We ended our excursion by taking in the gorgeous countryside views on the ride back to our meeting spot.
It was the perfect morning adventure with a friendly host who did a great job explaining/answering questions, taking our pics and holding all our things in his backpack (while not riding an e-bike like us!) We would highly recommend booking this excursion if you’re in Modena!

Great activity from Modena - Simone was a great guide on our e-bike tour and easy to communicate with leading up to the tour. We stopped and had a tour at a Parmigiano factory and balsamic shop. The scenery was beautiful!

Amazing tours, sights, tastings, and experience! - Wow, what a great experience! Since there was bad weather, our tour was adjusted to remove the e-bikes in exchange for being driven around and the addition of a wine tour/tasting after the cheese/balsamic vinegar tours/tastings!
We coordinated ahead of time for a shuttle pickup/drop off for the 6 of us at the train station and made our way to each of the 3 locations. The tours were detailed, the tastings were abundant, and our guides were joyous. Worth the trek away from the “big” cities.

Great way to spend half a day. Spend the rest of the day in town! - We had a great time. The e-bikes are nice and new Cannondales, our guide Simon was a wonderful host, and the rolling hills of the Castelvetro countryside are stunning. Alice was very communicative and helpful once we booked. All the reviews are 5-stars as I write this for a reason. We’d definitely do this again.
We’ve been to Bologna and Modena several times but would likely spend several days in Castelvetro if we return. Few tourists and a wonderful area of the Appenine foorhills.

Great time and great tastings! - The tour was amazing! Learning so much about cheese and balsalmic vinegar was a great time! Also Alice communicated with us early and often, coordinated a van ride for us, and helped pivot our plans when the weather got bad. Would highly recommend!!

Amazing Foodie Tour - Alice was a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable guide! Both the Parmesan-Reggiano and Balsamic vinegar tours were eye opening at how much work and time go into creating such unique products. Add in getting to taste different ages of cheese and types of vinegar, and you have an awesome experience.
Unfortunately, we were rained out of riding bikes, but Alice was amazingly communicative and was able to help coordinate a driver for the tour. And she added in a stop at a Lambrusco winery that was great as well! All in all, we had an awesome time and would definitely recommend the tour to anyone!

Tour guides were great... - Tour guides were great and the tours were wonderful. Such a beautiful country! Despite providing our heights however the correct size bike was not provided for my daughter which caused some challenges. I wish I would have known that before the start of the activity.
